Is life worth living the way we do today?

The world and its people are in crisis.

When God created Mankind, he also left a world that had everything to sustain him and his families for generations to come.

The earth gave us the means to grow plants for medicines, foods, minerals and nature was not tampered with, at a time when money or commerce was not part of the equation, neither was education or science. But over time, Man, in his quest to conquer new worlds and reach new heights, decided to detach himself from all that was natural, seek to secure wealth and riches by any means possible, reaching for the skies and to build himself Empires and great cities and exploited all minerals to accomplish his ambitions.

We hardly have animals to feed ourselves, or to get milk, no fishing for nourishment, not even eggs from the backyard fowls, no connection with the herbs and spices and there was a general mood to extort and exploit and discover.

So, people generally detached from their God-given environment, started working for corporations, everyone with the same ambition to obtain wealth so they can become supreme.

Now, hundreds of years later the world’s people are without food, sick from their chosen lifestyles and in this polluted environment, most people can’t meet their material expectations and demands, and the minority now owns and control everything and everyone everywhere have to hope that the Haves will extend hospitality to the Have Nots.

We are now at the brink of starvation, most people sickly, there’s more poverty than riches, we turned away from God’s plans for Mankind — and we still wonder why we are at this crisis point.

So, as we seek to better our lives and ourselves, the question remains: Is it worth it?
We seem not to learn from experiences, we pay no attention to world trends, we behave like everything is always okay and Man, not God, is the answer to our future on Earth.

So, I say Good Luck to the masses, since they decide their destiny. And since Man has become a creature of habit, I can’t see the trend changing any time soon.

C’es la vie assou la terre!
